AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMaritime Tech & Security: Ukraine says it’s expanding a drone campaign to isolate Crimea, with steppe-based units striking more than 180 sea targets in weeks—aiming to raise the cost of Russia’s occupation and disrupt Black Sea logistics. Shipping Safety: India again pressed Russia over seafarer safety after the Guinea-Bissau-flagged MV Golden Leo attack, with Jaishankar raising the issue in talks with Lavrov and urging avoidance of attacks on international commerce. Energy Infrastructure: ECOWAS backed the $25bn Nigeria–Morocco Atlantic gas pipeline, a 6,000–6,900 km corridor planned to move up to 30 bcm/year, including through Guinea-Bissau—though security across many jurisdictions remains a key risk. Coastal Resilience Debate: Ghana’s WACA ResIP 2 sea defence delays are reigniting arguments about whether coastal protection is being treated like a “cost vs value” problem—an issue that also matters for the wider region. Digital Governance & Civic Capacity: UNDP and AfDB launched the $803,520 BRIDGE project in The Gambia to strengthen governance, improve laws, and boost gender-responsive leadership and civil society oversight.
